A stunning film, with an incredible soundtrack. Something completely different, 10/10!
review by: date: 2001-08-12 rating:
A Castrato extravaganza
The idea of a digitally worked voice, comprising a female and a countertenor would not at first appear to be very promising, but the result has to be heard to be believed. At times the music, from the sumptuous delights of Broschi to the melancholy of Haendel, transports you from the cinema screen to the realms of the gods.
The film is not merely a vehicle for the music but has within itself a touching and heartrending storyline. Who could watch the forcible castration scene without a shudder. And yet it is through this that the angelic music comes to be.
A complex and moving film which I would recommend to anyone. If the music does not get you, the pathos will.
